The works form part of National Grid's ongoing infrastructure improvement programme and will be in phases between Tuesday 1 September and Sunday 4 October on sections of Ring Road St Patrick's and Ring Road St David's.

Temporary traffic measures include lane closures and occasional road closures affecting movement through the Broad Street junction.

City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for City Transport, Councillor Bhupinder Gakhal, said: "Utilities companies are responsible for more than two thirds of roadworks in Wolverhampton.

“While these works are essential to support and maintain critical infrastructure, we understand roadworks can be frustrating, particularly on key routes around the city.

“That is why we will be monitoring the impact of National Grid’s work to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum. Where companies fail to meet their obligations, we will not hesitate to use enforcement powers available to us, including issuing fines where appropriate.

“Our message is simple: if you're working on Wolverhampton's roads, you must do so responsibly and minimise disruption.”
